2008 Alerion Express 28

This 2008 Alerion Express 28 is a Carl Schumacher-designed sailing yacht built by Pearson Composites using SCRIMP vacuum infusion resin construction. The boat showcases elegant lines and is engineered specifically for single-handed sailing and weekend coastal cruising. Its fin keel and spade rudder deliver responsive handling and stability, while the Hoyt jib pivoting boom system provides self-tacking capability and strong downwind performance.

The 28-foot hull with an 8-foot beam is powered by a 14-horsepower Yanmar diesel saildrive, offering reliable auxiliary propulsion for day trips and island passages. The design balances ease of handling with capable sailing characteristics across a range of conditions.

The boat includes a full winter cover for seasonal storage protection and a half summer cover extending from the mast aft. The combination of thoughtful design details and quality construction makes this an accessible yet capable platform for daysailing and short cruises.
